Brownie Base
- 1 box brownie mix (around 18.4 oz)
- Ingredients required for brownie mix as per package (typically eggs, water, and vegetable oil)
Festive Toppings
- Colored icing (orange, black, green)
- Edible Halloween-themed sprinkles (pumpkins, ghosts, bats)
- Mini candy corn pieces
- Chocolate chips or candy eyes
- Prepare the Brownie Batter: Follow the instructions on your brownie mix box to prepare the batter, typically combining the brownie mix with eggs, water, and vegetable oil. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter into a greased 9×13 inch baking pan. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with a few moist crumbs.
- Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before decorating. This ensures the toppings will adhere properly and prevents melting.
- Decorate: Using colored icing, frost the brownies and create Halloween-themed designs like spider webs, pumpkins, or ghosts. Sprinkle edible Halloween decorations, mini candy corn, chocolate chips, or candy eyes on top for a festive look.
- Serve and Enjoy: Cut brownies into squares and serve at your Halloween party or event.
Notes
- You can substitute homemade brownie batter if preferred.
- Use gluten-free brownie mix for a gluten-free version.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra texture, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
- Be creative with toppings—marshmallows, crushed cookies, or colored sugar work great too.
